In a recent development, Noida Authority has launched a special cleanliness drive to address civic problems in Noida.

Starting with immediate effect, the city will be cleaned by the sanitation and health department in two parts starting from 5am every morning till 6 in the evening.

To ensure the drive is a success, additional equipment and vehicles have been pressed into service.

The initiative will help in effective cleaning of drains, which, if full causes water-logging and subsequently, damage to roads, and potential mosquito breeding.

The arterial roads of the city and areas from where we have been receiving complaints are being addressed.

In order to remove the complaint of water-logging, pipes and storm-water drains are being cleaned so that water does remain logged causing inconvenience to residents and motorists.

Sanitation and health officials have been directed to position pumps to drain out rain water. The department’s staff will also be on duty 24×7 to deal with any emergencies during the entire monsoon months.

Sanitation department has also been directed to carry out fogging to deal with dengue larvae from July 1, 2016.
